MANZANITA IS THE MOST
BEAUTIFUL WOOD. IT GROWS IN THE MOUNTAIN AREAS OF THE WEST COAST
AND ALSO HIGH DESERT AND SOME LOW DESERT. THERE IS TREE AND BURL
MANZANITA.
MANZANITA IS A PROTECTED
TREE. IT IS ALSO ONE OF THE HARDEST WOOD. ALL THE MANZANITA I
HARVEST IS PERMITTED. THE PIECES ARE THEN LEVELED, FUMIGATED AND
SANDBLASTED. SANDBLASTING REMOVES THE BARK FROM THE WOOD AND THEN
YOU SEE THE BRILLANT COLORS OF THE MANZANITA WOOD.
IT CAN TAKE UPWARDS OF
100 HOURS OR MORE TO COMPLETE A TABLE BASE. SOMETIMES A LITTLE
RESIN WORK IS ADDED TO AREAS TO FILL IN OR TO STRENGTHEN THE PIECE.

FINDING THESE OLD
MANZANITA PIECES IS PRETTY HARD AND A GRIND. FOR ONE THING YOU
HAVE TO KNOW WHERE TO FIND THE RIGHT MANZANITA. ANOTHER IS
SELECTING THE RIGHT PIECES, WHICH IS KEY.
EXCAVATING, TRANSPORTING.
A LOT OF MUSCLING, CHAIN SAWS, A LOT OF DIFFERENT HAND TOOLS AND A
BEEFY 4X4 PICKUP, WENCHES AND LEVERAGE HELP MAKE IT A WILD ADVENTURE
ALONG WITH HAVING TO USE A LOT OF INGENUITY ON MOST SITES. EVERY
SITE IS DIFFERENT – SOME ARE ON STEEP SLOPES ON A HILL, OTHER SITES
ARE, FOR EXAMPLE AN ANCIENT MANZANITA GROVE. FOR THE MOST PART NONE
ARE EASILY ACCESSIBLE.
